I think a franchise defence man is what this team needs as it rebuilds.

Goaltending depth is good, maybe not Kipper caliber but we won't know until they get a real chance. You never know with goalies. When he was languishing in the 3rd spot in SJ plenty of teams probably passed on Kipper and look how that turned out for the Flames.

Forwards are OK. Apart from a franchise centre I would rather see the Flames draft D. When the Flames trade away the core this year the returning draft picks should fill some scoring holes.

Hartley is the right guy to showcase vets and increase their trade value. IMO it all makes sense now.
